It’s like any other economic crisis (yes, don’t have my head in the ground, this is serious, but so have many other events in history), yet the employees have to take the burden. When you get hired at a seniority based job, you know the risks that come with being junior. Things can and will change very quickly. When I changed jobs after 10+ years in my previous job, I understood the risks, and BTW I am most certainly not out of the woods, sweating a bit. We as an aviation pilot group have only gone backwards in a NET/COLA basis. This crisis will be followed by another crisis, and so forth. At some point in time it is time to stand against the Kirby’s, the Randalls, the Parker’s, etc, and let them do what they will do. We are worth what we are worth, period.
Before anyone lambasts me, saying I don’t know what it feels like to loose your job and be on the brink of not being able to put food on the table for your kids, I saw that first hand with friends, hit very close to home. I get it. But what is the “happy medium”?
